Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma says the players are convinced of victory ahead of their FA Cup semifinal against Manchester United.

The Seagulls meet United on Sunday at Wembley.

They are a great opponent but yes, we have a great chance to go to the final. Winning there on Sunday will mean a lot for the club and we want to give our best to go to the final.

It will be another tough game They have a lot of talented players, so we have to pay attention to them, look after the ball better and take the initiative of the match. And if we can play our football, I think we have a chance."

Mitoma also praised young teammate Julio Enciso after his winner at Chelsea last week.

He added: It was a great goal.

He is young and gaining momentum. I would like to get inspiration from him, ride on it and go on playing well. He is talented, has scored two goals already and will help the team more.

He is good at dribbling, so I let him bring the ball forward and it allows me to have one-to-one situations. Or we can use a one-two pass. We have some common understandings and it's easy to play with him.

As a team we know there are still little things to improve. There's also a possibility of extra time (in the FA Cup), so it will be a tougher match both as individual and as a team."
